Had never thought of that before. Cool!!!</p>
<p>@Bryan Price When I right click on sendTo in the figure above, nothing shows up for the Target. When I attempt to double click it, I get access denied. It may be UAC keeping it from working for me. Obviously writing a script to do something that takes 3 seconds to do is not efficient -- however, if I decide that I want to add sendto to notepad for 500 workstations or a 1000 workstations via the logon script, then I have a great ROI story (as opposed to answering 500 or 1000 help desk calls). There is great value in knowing the GUI, and the Scripting Wife is MUCH better with the GUI than I am. Thanks for sharing (and for the record, I would NEVER call you a button monkey). </p>

<p>Yes, that&#39;s not programmaticly the way to do so, but it works for me. :p</p>
<p>OK, you can call me a button monkey (but I can show you such command line treasures in my \BIN32 directory... but nevermind the now obsolete \BIN directory now that I&#39;m 64-bit...) </p>

That way anything you want in the sendto folder you just use the shortcut in the sendto options to do so!</p>
